      How do I go about directing traffic to a host on my local network by assigning a name to a particular IP address?

      I'm sure this is covered in the docs but not sure where to look…

          Or create a dhcp reservation and have those registered in your resolver or forwarder depending on which one your using.. The resolver is default out of the box.
